Thank you all who have been praying for me. I am feeling a little better today. With the so much sadness around me, I just got overwhelmed and cried it all out. Yesterday I received an e-mail from a close friend of Yolie's. I found out yesterday that Tristan will need to testify against his father this month. That was it, I couldn't bear the thought of a little 9 year old sitting in a court room and reliving the day his mother was murdered by his father. My sadness overwhelmed me. In the midst of a lot of other very emotional things, hearing this just threw me over the edge. I was so overwhelmed with sadness, I needed to reach out and I didn't know where else to go but to all of you....You are all amazing. Yes, you who read this and pray for me continually. So, again, I ask for prayers....only this time they are for the sad road ahead. I will need to sit in a courtroom this month and watch a 9 year old share the story of his mother's death. I will need to listen to the details of her death. I will need to be there for her. I need to pull myself together this month for Yolie. All the details are on her blog (www.runningforyolie.blogspot.com) regarding the trial. Thank you all for reaching out! I love you all.

Dai... if you need me for support I am here. My office is just across the street from the courthouse. Tell me which day Tristan is set to testify and I can be there. You can lean on me. :)
I'm so sorry Dai that this is such a hard time for you. This world can be filled with so much unbearable sadness. It's through our lowest lows that we seek hope and strength from our Father and the comfort of our friends. We are here for you! You and Tristan will be in my prayers.
very sad for you, and for this dear 9 year old boy. the weight of the world is on his shoulders --- i pray that he will turn towards The One in his life who can actually carry it for him. We, however, cannot, d~, so we give it to Him, as well. sometimes every moment of the day.
love you.
My dear friend,
I am praying for you and for precious Tristan with all my heart. I am always here for you. I love you.
Thank you, all! You are amazing and I don't know what I would do with out you! I know the weeks ahead will be tough, but I know I can do it...just need to give my worries and saddness to the Lord.
Ginell...I will definitely let you know when he is to testify. Thank you, friend.
This is so hard. You and Tristan will be in my prayers.
